Wall Plantings - 2009

Years ago we had a lannon stone wall build to create a nice planting area along one of our paths. We've since done many color combinations (see pink, blue and yellow examples) and themes (scented plants, etc.). It's a neat linear space that was build to be "all accessible" and is a nice opportunity for an extended border (140 feet long, average width of 6'). This year we will move our "ornamental edible" collection along this space. The intent is to showcase beautiful plants and combinations like in previous years. However, all of these plants will have an edible, culinary or utilitarian use. Come visit and see what we come up with this year. We should have over 50 neat varieties of these "ornamental edibles." We hope visitors will appreciate that these edible gardens can be beautiful and don't have to be relegated to straight rows in the back yard.
